　　 April 22, 2022 is the 53rd world earth day. Every year, April 22 is a festival specially set up for the protection of the world's environment. It aims to raise people's awareness of existing environmental problems, and mobilize people to participate in the environmental protection movement, so as to improve the overall environment of the earth through green and low-carbon life. Earth Day was launched by Gerard Nelson and Dennis Hayes in 1970. Today, the celebration of Earth Day has developed to 192 countries around the world, with more than 1 billion people participating in it every year, making it the largest folk environmental protection festival in the world.

　　 Recently, the latest report released by the Intergovernmental Panel on climate change (IPCC) of the United Nations shows that the average annual global greenhouse gas emissions from 2010 to 2019 are at the highest level in human history. There is no immediate report of global warming within 1.5 ℃. Climate change is approaching an irreversible tipping point.

　　 U.N. Secretary General Guterres made an urgent appeal on the report that the global climate has entered a state of emergency. "With climate action regressing, renewable energy efforts must now triple. To keep the 1.5 ℃ limit within reach, we need to reduce global emissions by 45% within this decade."

　　 According to the general prediction of the scientific community, global warming will bring about the following serious consequences, and no one can be alone:

　　 The global average temperature rise is 4 degrees, and the temperature in extremely low areas is 10 degrees

　　 Ocean acidity increased by 150%

　　 90% of marine fishing grounds disappear

　　 Extreme rainstorms, tornadoes, extreme droughts and extreme high temperatures have become the biggest threat to human life and property security

　　 The occurrence rate and damage degree of natural disasters such as mountain fire and flood increased by dozens of times

　　 Similar epidemics continue to occur in Nu Skin crown

　　 60% of coastal cities are threatened by sea level rise

　　 Grain production has been reduced, population has declined, and local wars and conflicts have continued
